Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 153 Admiration
After completing the mission of executing several Nara ninjas, just like in his previous life, Yagami received the mission to rescue Nara Baika.

Nightlight led the Aries team off, pretending to wander aimlessly, but actually heading straight for the lumber mill they had visited in their previous life.

Outside the lumber mill, several timber merchants were queuing up to enter the mill and pick up timber.

Nara Baika created the identity of a timber merchant for herself, sitting in a covered carriage with 10 camels in the caravan behind her.

She frowned, pondering what she had seen and heard over the past few days, her heart filled with both worry about whether the Nara clan's scandal would be exposed and her own safety.

Originally, he went to investigate the Sand Ninja's imitation of paragliders, but he was discovered by the Sand Ninja and chased all the way. His teammates were killed, and he was forced into the depths of the Land of Wind.

Here, an anomaly was discovered in the market for Huangjian wood, and for the sake of Konoha, a new investigation had to be launched.

Just as she was in a daze, her side suddenly went dark.

The carriage curtain was blocked!

Nara Baika suddenly drew her kunai and stabbed the person beside her.

Ding!
After the crisp sound, Nara Baika saw the tip of the kunai being knocked away.

His own hand was also shaken and was sore.

Looking again, he saw that the person beside him had caught his kunai with his throat and then immediately raised his hand to grab the tip of the flying kunai blade.

The skin on his throat had a dark, coppery hue.

This ability... Nara Meika thought to herself, isn't this the Copper Fox, a rising star in the Anbu who has just made a name for himself?
"Don't get excited, relax, we're on the same side."

Nara Umeka let out a long sigh of relief.

The Bronze Fox is so powerful that it found her so quickly.

In this life, the plot gives him an advantage; Yagami finds Nara Umeka three days earlier than in the previous life, making him more efficient.

After briefly listening to the information Nara Baika had gathered, Ye Guang began to fabricate:

"The price of Huangjian wood is based on the demand from the puppeteers of Sunagakure."

You mentioned that someone is buying up large quantities of Huangjian wood, which might mean that Sunagakure is preparing for a big move.

No need to waste time here, come with me.

Nara Baika stepped down from the carriage, abandoning the camel caravan. All the effort she'd put into arranging the caravan had been wasted.

Led by Ye Guang, the Aries Squad and Nara Baixiang headed straight for the only road leading from Sunagakure to Sandport.

Soon, they saw a huge procession.

Like a corpse-driving procession, the puppeteers, surrounded by puppets of various shapes, advanced through the yellow sand.

Ye Guang put down his binoculars and said:
"On the border of the Land of Rivers, we in Konoha have the advantage, as Commander-in-Chief Nara Shikazuchi has made impeccable arrangements."

If they want to take action, they will inevitably take risks, and they have no choice but to take risks.

Since Shapo Port was just destroyed by Konoha, we have reduced our defensive efforts in that direction.

The Sand Village might use Sandport to launch a counterattack.

After listening to Copper Fox's analysis, Nara Meika stared at Copper Fox in shock.

Copper Fox is not only incredibly strong, but also has a clear mind and thinks much faster than her.

Ye Guang turned to look at Nara Meika, hoping that Nara Meika would quickly acknowledge his judgment and return as soon as possible.

It's too dangerous deep in the Land of Wind.

He first saw a pair of delicate, bright eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Guang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.

The smarter a woman is, the more she admires strength.

In this life, he found Nara Meika three days earlier than in the previous life, bringing Nara Meika a great sense of security.

More importantly, Nightlight discovered the movements of Sunagakure early on.

As an elite member of the Nara clan, Nara Meika had never been so surprised by a man as she was today.

Within the clan, aside from the clan leader and other elders, she viewed everyone with a degree of scrutiny; no man could truly win her heart. Only then did she realize that the truly outstanding men had all been reserved for the village.

If she hadn't encountered the Bronze Fox during this mission, she wouldn't have known there was such a powerful person in the village.

Both his strength and analytical ability are admirable.

Ye Guang said, "Let's go! Let's get back to the camp as soon as possible, notify the command, and make preparations as soon as possible."

In her previous life, she was caught by the sensory ninjas of Sunagakure. In this life, after Yagami persuaded Nara Meika, she immediately fled far away.

As night fell, three paragliders took off, flew above the clouds, and headed towards the land of rivers.

On their way back, they encountered the Sand Ninja's paraglider again.

Nara Baika was anxious as she noticed that the Sand Ninja's paragliders were becoming more and more standard.

She looked down at the low clouds below, carefully checking for any shadows. If there were shadows, she could use her shadow magic to join the battle.

However, her anxiety was unnecessary.

From the side and front, the bronze fox used a ninjutsu.

A high-speed water jet shot out, slicing through a Sand Ninja's paraglider from top to bottom, cutting through two Sand Ninja beneath it, and also slicing through the clouds below.

Nara Umeka was taken aback.

She thought the Copper Fox mainly used absolute defensive techniques, but she didn't expect its offensive ninjutsu to be so powerful.

The cutting of clouds, in particular, creates a striking visual impact.

Has Konoha's Anbu become this strong?
She knew that a Jonin from the Nara clan was a captain in the Anbu.

No wonder the clan leader wanted to send the clan's second-best expert into the Dark Division. The Dark Division is full of hidden talents, and its intelligence must not be ignored.

After clearing away the paragliders, Ye Guang and his group continued flying towards the Land of Rivers.

Nara Umeka estimated the distance and realized that they couldn't possibly fly to the Land of Rivers tonight.

Before dawn, the Dark Guard landed in the desert.

As the team members were packing up their paragliders, Ye Guang said:
"Jonin Mei, you've ventured too far into the Land of Wind. You won't be able to fly back in one night."

We'll find a nearby oasis town to rest, and then take off again after nightfall, flying back to the land of rivers in one go.

"I apologize. What started as a passive escape turned into an active reconnaissance after I discovered Huang Jianmu's unusual movements, which is why I ventured deep into the Land of Wind."

They found a hotel and checked in in batches.

Nara Meika and Copper Fox were the last to enter the inn. She glanced at Copper Fox's room and memorized his room number.

At noon, Nara Umeka knocked on Copper Fox's door.

"Captain Copper Fox, I still have some questions about the movements of the Sunagakure puppeteer unit. I would like to ask you for your guidance."

Nara Baika brought a map, and the two quickly determined the possible ambush routes of the Sand Ninja on the map.

Starting from Shapo Port, then going upstream along a river, most likely the Hakuno River, they would launch a surprise attack on Konoha's rear.

Nara Meika grew increasingly impressed with Yoru, and Copper Fox was equally adept at strategic thinking.

It's said that powerful men never lack women, but despite seeing Nara Meika's admiring gaze, Ye Guang chose to keep her distance.

Those foolish women are willing to take the initiative and compromise themselves, but Nara Umeka is smart, and Yako doesn't want to have any deep involvement with her.

After nightfall, Ye Guang and his group left the town and took off into the desert outside the town.

After flying all night, Ye Guang and his team finally crossed the combat zone.

After entering the camp, Ye Guang led Nara Meika into the Dark Guard's tent area.

"Captain, mission accomplished. Jonin Nara Umeka has been successfully rescued."

The yellow dog glanced behind the fox and saw that not only had Nara Meika returned, but the team the fox had led out was also safe and sound.
